...to grasp the most basic concept in sports: sportsmanship. What was Avery doing, counting steamboats? There's no place in pro sports for this kind of childish behaviour.
Should Avery be suspended for this? No. Should he have been penalized? I'd say 2 for unsportsmanlike conduct wouldn't be unwarranted. Should he be called out by his teammates and coaches? You bet. Will he? Not likely.

I don't know the context here, but... There is no contact and he is outside the crease.
It looks to me like he is trying to screen and distract the goalie, which is a perfectly legitimate tactic. It his job to get the goalie to pay attention to things other than the puck. I am sure he is saying things that are likely rude, but the picture doesn't show that.
